We arrived in Singaoire to the hostel we'd booked in little India only to be told they had no rooms available! We found another hotel down the road and headed out for a drink and a curry. First impressions of Singapore are good, everything is so clean, it also helps we're staying in a nice hotel! Next day we moved to a hotel at the end of of Orchard road (shopping district) and spent the day by the pool so Robin could recover from man flu. In the evening we ven...

We got on the boat to hop over to Gili Meno this morning and had the usual response when handing over a ticket, a look of confusion, followed by two trips to the ticket office.

Mind you Tuk Tuk drivers are the same, despite most of the places we havw travelled to ...

We had our welcome drink and lunch in ...

Arrived in KL on 3rd Jan and were very excited to see shops, restaurants and (im ashamed to say) robin was thrilled to see McDonalds! After everything being closed in Vientiane it was nice to see a bit if civilisation. We had an hour and a half bus ride from the airport into the city centre and it was scorchio! Our hotel was between china town and little india with a view over the city. We headed straight out for a walk around china town and down Petling stree...
